Hi all
I have a pile of documents that all open with the Read-Only flag set in
the security preferences... flipping annoying to have to dismiss the
box everytime!

Is there any way to bulk turn off this, using either Automator or
Applescript - or both?

Thanks

Hello Mark,

What you're talking about should be able to be done in Automator.
It isn't really a Word feature per se, although Microsoft included
some Automator actions for Office files including Word to make
life easier.

Open Automator, set up a new custom workflow,
and then try adding the following steps:

1. Get Selected Finder items
2. Open Word Documents
3. Set Security Options for Word Documents
4. Save Word Documents

Save your workflow, select some files in Finder and then run
the workflow.

Let us know how it goes!

Jeff
